OMR
Generate OMR bubble sheets from a paper or online exam, bulk-scan on any office scanner, and auto-score against the answer key with multi-version shuffling.
What it is
OMR (Optical Mark Recognition) is the high-volume MCQ channel with two ways to answer. A five-step builder turns an existing paper or online exam into a printable answer paper plus an alignment-marked OMR sheet you fully control (paper size, columns, bubble size/shape, header fields, booklet codes, sections). Each assigned student now gets a unique sheet with its own QR code — on scan the server decodes the QR and auto-routes the sheet to the right student, so there is no hand-filled roll-number bubbling grid to read (a pre-printed name and short code sit under the QR as the fallback). You print and hand out, students fill bubbles on paper, then you bulk-upload scans from any office scanner; the engine detects filled bubbles, maps them to the answer key and applies your marking scheme. Prefer no paper? Turn on the digital on-screen mode and the same exam becomes a tappable bubble grid students answer on any device, with autosave and an optional timer. Version shuffling still produces distinct sheets per version, each scored against its own key — and scanned and on-screen attempts land in the same scoring, analytics and gradebook.
Who it's for
- Built for teachers, parents and org admins running large MCQ mocks (JEE/NEET/CAT style). OMR is purchase-gated and behind the CHANNEL.OMR feature flag.
Key capabilities
- Shared scope picker — set Board → Class → Subject and the chapters (or single topics) the OMR exam covers before the builder opens; the exam remembers that scope. - Source from a paper or online exam — reuse questions you already built. - Two answer modes — printed QR sheets and/or an on-screen digital player; pick either or both per exam. - Unique per-student QR — each sheet auto-routes to its student on scan; no roll-number bubbling grid, with a pre-printed name + short code as the fallback. - Digital on-screen mode — a tappable bubble grid beside the question paper, with autosave, an optional timer and strict / single / relaxed rules. - Marking presets (CBSE / NEET / JEE / CAT / Custom) plus negative marking. - Multi-version shuffling — 2/3/4 versions, shuffle questions and/or options, each with its own key. - Full sheet designer — paper size, columns, bubble size & shape, options per question, header fields, booklet/set codes, watermark, signatures, QR. - Sections with their own mark/negative scheme. - Bulk scan upload with a drag-drop queue, plus single-sheet upload. - Auto-detect & review — verify ambiguous reads before scores finalise. - Unified subject analytics — scanned and on-screen scores map onto the same chapters and topics.

- For printed delivery, open the exam’s action center, generate the Question Paper PDF and each student’s unique QR OMR sheet, then print and hand out.
- Students fill their bubbles on paper — or, if you enabled on-screen answering, tap their answers in the digital player and submit.
- Scan the paper sheets and Bulk upload (or single-upload); the QR auto-routes each scan to its student.
- Evaluate All, Review ambiguous reads, then open Results for subject analytics — on-screen attempts are already scored and appear alongside the scans.
